    He didn't do that though, did he?

     

    He had a go at her and the other doctor for treating Hazard on the pitch in accordance with General Medical Council regulations, which in turn led to Hazard being removed from the game for the next period of play. Eva is the one who did her job properly, and was demoted for doing so - furthermore she was placed under media scrutiny..

    Labour leadership hustings, foxes and what have the unions ever done for us?

    Interesting week or so in politics;

     

    Busy week for Labour with the leadership hustings earlier this week, and we soon saw the media crawling all over it. The Victoria Derbyshire show on the BBC debated the runners for the leadership, and a straw poll of the audience put them all neck and neck with the same amount choosing none. Liz Kendall fired a few shots and backed Tory policy, however yesterday she dropped in on the interwebs with a Facebook AMA - as I would have expected, reading some of the responses it was clear that she helped to divide the Labour membership even more. Centre right for Kendall, and back to Kinnock with Corbyn. At the moment, I'm voting for Corbyn,

     

    PaddyPower has Burnham 10/11, Cooper 5/2, Corbyn,slashed to 4's, and Kendall 8.

     

    SNP bullied the Tories into a policy u-turn over fox hunting. Not sure this is a good thing to be honest, I'm not talking about the policy but the fact that the SNP MP's have such a punch in laws regarding England and Wales.

     

    Tory majority government look set to reform the unions and if nothing else, it's a move that will see a financial lifeline for the Labour Party cut and fines of £20,000 imposed on unions not following the law. Javid pointed out that the changes would require all unions, not just those affiliated to Labour, to ask each existing union member whether they wish to pay the political levy and then repeat the question every five years. The £25m annual political fund income from 4.5 million political levy-payers funds a wide range of political campaigning, including being a chief source of funding for Labour. Seems to me that the Government are trying to bankrupt the Labour Party.

     

    ...and Boris has to do without his water pistols. He was itching to hose down a students union march, maybe just so he could throw some soap at them...

    What games are you playing at the moment?

    Same here. I'm a strictly no-mic guy who doesn't want to send friend requests to random people off Reddit.

     

    I say that, I've done a couple of Nightfalls but I know how to do all the Strikes so it's not really the same to me. With the Raids there's loads of different mechanics that you need to learn and talk to others about. Awkward.

     

    I've told you, the 100 is the best bet for your requirements- plus it keeps you matched with the same group of players for as long as you want, so you're constantly not hooking up with morons all the time.

    Read it as "outrages"

    Was looking forward to something really juicy !

    Sorry to disappoint Pete! I'm sure there will be something along soon, like a FIFA16 debate.

     

    The site seems unstable at the moment, however there may be some prolonged downtime later if there is the need to swap servers - there is a problem with the one we're on.

     

    Please bear with us.

     

    Thanks again,

    Matt.
